When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

“Can you please ask your friend to conduct a more thorough investigation on this? Oh, right. I saw Nathaniel meeting up with Quince today. They seemed to be teaming up against Ashton or Stovall Corporation. You need to be more careful.”

However, John did not seem to be fazed. “It’s just a couple of hooligans! If they do cross the line, I’ll send some money to M Country and get rid of their headquarters. Let’s see if they can still smile after their nest is gone. How dare some foreigners come to cause havoc in Chanaea. Do they really think that we’re such an easy target?”

“I hope it’ll be easy as you say.” Upon hearing that, I still could not put my guard down and continued to remind him, “You forgot about Nathaniel. Don’t take him lightly.”

“I know that. I’m also a businessman that rose to the top of the pyramid by myself. Don’t worry. I’m not that easy to be fooled. Let’s talk later. Your sister-in-law is calling for me, and I’m going to get a scolding if I don’t show up now. I’ll let you know if there are any updates.”

After he hung up the call, I waited for hours and gradually fell asleep on the sofa at around eleven o’clock at night.
